Julian Wigen recently made a vacation stop at a museum in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin and wanted you all to see photos from the museum.

“The Wally Keller Tool Museum” in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. It’s one of the highlights of Duluth Trading Company’s brand-new flagship retail store, just a few minutes’ drive from Madison. The collection consists of more than 3,100 hand tools, many of which pre-date industrialized toolmaking in America. And, they were all collected by Mt. Horeb native Wally Keller over a period of nearly 20 years.For more information about the museum, click here to see a 2010 review of the museum by Woodworker's Journal: Wally Keller Tool Museum Review

Here are Julian's photos:
